Kuroda Tetsuzan, sensei of the Shinbukan Kuroda Dojo, is the Soke (leader/Head) of several ancient Samurai military disciplines. Kuroda sensei inherited this knowledge through his family line, and is the headmaster of the Kuroda family martial legacy. The arts that he has inherited include:
- Komagawa-Kaishin ryu kenjitsu
- Shishin-Takuma ryu jujitsu
- Tamiya ryu-iaijitsu
- Tsubaki-Kotengu ryu bojitsu
- Seigyoku-Ogurirryi Sakkatsujitsu
Kuroda sensei began his training at the age of 5 and was trained by both his father and his grandfather Kuroda Yasuji. At the age of twenty, Kuroda Sensei was awarded Hanshi Hachidan in Kobudo by the Dai Nippon Butokukai. This was a national record in Japan for such a young person to be given such a high rank. Kuroda Sensei is the fifteenth Soke of his family's system. He is known for his "Disappearing" or "Hidden Movements"
